We recently moved in and when trying to hook up the washer, found the spigot/valve thing coming out of the wall leaks/sprays water when turned on.
This is the hot water valve (I think ... hard to tell since they aren't marked and I'd have to let the water run long enough to fill buckets before one would cool off due to poorly insulated pipes and hot sun).
Anyway...we need to do laundry. Except for whites, everything is cold wash...can I just run the washing machine with the cold water connected and the hot water hose not connected or do both hoses have to be pressurized with water for some internal functioning of the machine to work properly?
